Pinks & purples

I finished it!! My pinks & purples quilt! I am so happy with how it turned out!

Here is the full top after it was quilted!

And here is the pieced back.  I did not have HAVE to buy anything for it, but I chose to buy something, only because I was at the fabric store, and they had fabric ;)  I liked doing the pieced backing, I like how it looks and using up what I already have.  I also used some left over blocks/pieces on the back also.
 

Christmas ornaments

I got a great deal on these rounds last year off Amazon.  I hadn't had the chance to play with them until this fall.

 

I actually used HTV (heat transfer vinyl) also known and iron on vinyl.  I was able to use my easy press mini to put these one!  

Some definitely turned out cuter than others. 

 

 I am not sure if I will give them as gifts or just hang them on my tree!

Potholders

I have been making some more potholders for my craft fairs, so I have a good variety.

 

 I found these cute you rule SVGS and thought they would make a nice potholder gift set, since many people that buy them, buy them as teacher gifts.

 I found some very awesome coffee SVGs, so of course I tried a few of them.

 And then the ever popular Thanks for making me one smart cookie.

This time when I did them, I used my easy press mini, and it was SO much easier than using my iron had been!!

Pinks & Purples quilt top done!

 

Here is my pinks & purples quilt top!!  

Here is a link to the posts I have done about this quilt.  I started this quilt in Spring 2019. I made the quilt, but knew I wanted to add a border.  So I created the pieced border, EXCEPT when I went to attach it, it did not go so well.

The pink zig zags didn't match up! So I had to take it apart, then figure out how to get it to work  I did get it to work, and I am QUITE happy with it! I will get full measurements once I get it quilted.  

I am working on the backing now, it's going to be pieced.  I am going through my fabric and trying to use up what I have.
 

Border - pinks and purples quilt

For my pinks & purples quilt I wanted to make a border.  Here is the original post about the border. It was going real well.  Until I went to put it on the quilt.  The corners looked funny.  So even though I had put two borders on, I had to take them off to do some adjustments.

I needed to add a few blocks and change the way the corner block looked. I am happy with how it turned out.  But not happy with how long it took!

Minnie was my helper while I was working on this!  Making sure I didn't mess anything up!
 

cats on quilts

This is my sisters cat, Edna on my sisters' tee shirt quilt.

Here is Earl on the orange & white snails trail quilt.  I love how much he loves quilts.  He will lay on spots on the bed that have a quilt on them, and not others!
 

Ray Quilt along

I found this on instagram.  It's a quilt by Carolyn friedlander, called Ray.  And she is doing a quilt a long, I am a little behind, but I will say it goes together, VERY quickly! 

I got quite a bit done last night! I am hoping by later today I will have a finished top!

I am not going to call this a Ray quilt, but I am going to call it a pokémon quilt, I picked the colors I did because they are the colors of a pokéball.

Quilt fort

My sister has two kids.  One day they used some of the blankets they had (that I had gifted them) to start a fort.

But they had decided it wasn't big enough for the two of them.  So they decided to add some more to it.

Here is their fort with two of the quilts I have made the family being used! I love seeing quilts being used!

Thanksgiving

Thanskgiving is spent with my friend, Christine that is in the Navy. This year was no different, except, we did not do any shopping.  We wanted to do more sewing.  Which I don't know if we got more sewing done, but we had a good time doing the sewing we did.

 

 These are the bow tie blocks I finished there.

 

 Most of my time was actually spent cutting fabric.  I took the mask left overs I have, and cut.  And cut and cut.  I cut out a variety of sizes:

Bow tie blocks (2", 1 1/4")

Spool blocks (1.5" x 3.5", 1.5")

1.5" squares

2" squares

2.5" squares

1.5" x 2.5" bricks

2" x 3.5" bricks

2.5" x 4.5" bricks

I still have a lot more to cut, but it helped make the amount a little smaller.  I do have another quilt I worked on, but I don't have pictures to share. . .yet ;)
